The Weimaraner Vote

Oakley the Amazing Weimaraner and Annie his kid sis showed up in these outfits the other day.
I have a problem with their attire as I remain uncommitted to any of the candidates — and would prefer them to be wearing Chuck Hagel attire. In fact, I just bought myself and the pups a copy of Chuck Hagel’s new political missive, America: Our Next Chapter — Tough Questions, Straight Answers.
Note to Senator Hagel: Call me next time when you are looking for titles for books. His book really should have been titled Beyond False Choices: It is Patriotic to Challenge Our Government and President.
Back to dogwear.Oakley and Annie’s other parent apparently got the Hillary Clinton attire through secret means. I’m committed to equal time. If the Obama and McCain people want to send outfits for the pups to model, I think it can be arranged — small for Annie and medium/large for the Oakster.— Steve Clemons

Buddy will be a new sibling to Oakley & Annie next week. If anyone wants to send him some Obamawear, we’ll dress him & photograph them together — but my dogwear budget is all on Clinton through Denver.

Buddy is a 3-year-old Weimy down the street who has spent the last 18 months locked in a crate in a cold, dark garage with no one to love him. So he’s coming to stay with us. I don’t know what attire he’ll show up in, but we’ll convert him right quick. Pics to come.
